Reddit is probably the largest potential new user pool for Lemmy, due to the similarities between the two platforms.
With 50k monthly active users, there are still a lot of communities which rely on one or two posters to keep active. For instance, TV shows are a very popular topic, we are still only one or two regular posters on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee.
We have lost a few regular posters in the last year as well, and some others might get tired to "should into the void".
With 500k monthly active users, we would get a dozen regular posters on most communities.
I dislike Reddit as much as the average Lemmy user, but if we want Lemmy to survive, we have to get more people from there to here.
One reason why I want more people on here is so that the third-apps can get enough support to establish the same level of polish as Apollo once had. Imagine how much further we can go with the potential of open source.
I've mentioned Lemmy a few times and they seem totally blind to it. They just want a like for like platform to already be established and not willing to build anything up.
Yeah, but I do find it kind of funny that people are searching for an alternative platform because of the enshitification of Reddit, but look for a centralised service that would fall for the exact same issue that Reddit has once it got popular.
That said I do think the concept of instances are confusing at first and add friction to get new users on board.
